Someone who calls Microsoft M$ jumps out of their skin when they see it
spelled MiscoSuck? O.K.

4.20. I've noticed that Privoxy changes "Microsoft" to "MicroSuck"! Why
are you manipulating my browsing?
We're not. The text substitutions that you are seeing are disabled in
the default configuration as shipped. You have either manually activated
the "fun" filter which is clearly labeled "Text replacements for
subversive browsing fun!" or you have implicitly activated it by
choosing the "Adventuresome" profile in the web-based editor (formerly
known as the Advanced profile).
